conclusions the clinical success rates of endodontically treated premolars restored with fiber posts and direct composite restorations, direct composite restorations with cusp capping and simple direct composite restoration were perfect after one year of follow-up evaluation. background endodontically treated teeth need to be restored in a manner to provide protection for the remaining tooth st...

introduction: this in vitro study evaluated the influence of composite thickness (with or without fiber reinforcement) on fracture resistance of direct restorations in endodontically treated teeth. methods and materials: fifty-six intact human premolars were chosen and randomly divided into four groups ( n =14). after preparation of a mesio-occluso-distal (mod) cavities and cusp reduction, the ...

introduction: the restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that has been studied extensively but it is still a challenge for dental practitioners. the aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance, fracture patterns and fracture location of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars restored with direct and indirect composite resin and ceramic restoration. methods: e...

72 oralhealth April 2007 Patient demand for aesthetic dentistry with minimally invasive procedures has resulted in the extensive use of freehand bonding of composite resin to anterior teeth.1 Preservation of remaining tooth structure and using as much enamel to bond to, has made the procedure very predictable. In order to achieve maximum esthetics, the dentist must be able to use multiple layer...

direct restoration of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth (ett) using available and conventional and current matrix systems is sometimes impractical and in some clinical cases is impossible. the aim of this paper is to introduce and describe a new matrix system based on rigid tray technique (rtt) for dealing with such difficult clinical cases.

The heritage site of Luni is a very interesting location, which tells the story of an ancient roman colony, and of an area where different cultures left their heritage. In particular, the remains of the pediments of an ancient temple represent a very interesting case and an open field of study for art historians. The scanning of a group of statue belonging to the pediments showed that the produ...
